IND vs ENG / England won the toss and chose to bowl first Cheteshwar Pujara will be the opener in place of Rohit Sharma

The last match of the five-Test series between India and England is being played at the Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham. England captain Ben Stokes has won the toss and decided to bowl first. Cheteshwar Pujara will open the match in place of Rohit Sharma.

Both the teams are as follows-

England - Alex Lees, Jack Crowley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Sam Billings, Matthew Potts, Stuart Broad, Jack Leach, James Anderson.

India: Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Hanuma Vihari, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Mohammad Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah.

Four Tests of this series were played last year. Then the fifth match in Manchester was postponed due to the Corona outbreak. The same match will be played 10 months later in Birmingham from today. The most important thing is that instead of the corona infected Rohit Sharma, Bumrah has been given the captaincy in this test.

Last year, India were leading 2-1 when the series was postponed. That is, if the Indian team wins this match, then many records will be made simultaneously. India has never won a five-match series in England in its 90-year history. It will be his first series win on England soil in the last 15 years. Also Birmingham will end a 55-year winning drought.

The Indian team landed in Birmingham to play the first Test in 1967. Since then 7 Tests have been held between the two teams at this stadium and India has not won a single match. England has won in 6 Tests and one match was a draw.
